Watch Our video Of The Week
Have we not all been there? Finding that one series that has us so thoroughly fascinated that it is rather tough to do anything else.
From Squid Game to fresh seasons of Stranger Things, we’ve seen numerous examples of this throughout the years.
Now, a brand-new Netflix series called Pact of Silence seems to have captured everyone’s attention.
The 18-part Mexican series chronicles the tale of Brenda, a well-connected influencer whose ascent to fame was undoubtedly difficult.
When she was extremely young, she learned to protect herself after being abandoned by her biological mother at birth.
An official Netflix synopsis reads: “Under the cover of night, four teens take an infant to a remote location and leave her in a rundown building. Waiting to pick them up is their school headmistress, Ramona.
“She’s helping the girls hide the pregnancy and is now assisting in abandoning the child, later named Brenda, who now intends to make sure the people who left her for dead — especially her biological mother — pay for what they did.”
Pact of Silence’s 18 episodes are all streaming on Netflix, so you can break out the snacks and binge watch.
The reviews for Pact of Silence have been overwhelmingly good, despite the fact that there aren’t enough of them to give the series a Rotten Tomatoes rating.
For example, the Decider’s review reads: “Pact Of Silence is a bit outlandish and has the potential to go off in a lot of crazy directions, but we wouldn’t expect anything different from a telenovela.”
Many viewers have also weighed in on the discussion, swarming to social media platforms to share their opinions on Netflix’s most recent offering.
It’s also true that many people are hooked with Pact of Silence to the extent that they stay up all night watching it.
“The show Pact of Silence on Netflix has me staying up every night late as hell to binge watch, it’s soooo good but I’m sooo tired,” one fan penned on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Meanwhile, a second added: “Pact of Silence on Netflix has me locked in & I’m only on the 2nd episode.”
While a third remarked: “I just binged watched 18 episodes of Pact of Silence on Netflix. Y’all, it was so good.”
On the other side of the social media, one person wrote on the Netflix Bangers Facebook page: “I binge watched this in ONE day. Soo many plot twists!!”
Season one of Pact of Silence is streaming right now on Netflix.
Netflix’s Bioshock Live-Action Movie: Everything We Know So Far
Are you ready to visit the city of Rapture?
If you’ve ever plunged into the depths of Rapture in the legendary video game, you’re in for a treat. Michael Green, the genius behind movies like Logan and Blade Runner 2049, is cooking up something special for Netflix. That’s right, the underwater dystopia of Rapture is making its way to your screens, and we’re here to spill the beans on this exciting update.
The original BioShock game, born in 2007, whisked gamers away to Rapture—a sprawling underwater city from the swinging ’60s. It’s like Mad Men meets the deep blue sea, with a twist. Imagine a world where genetic material gives folks superhuman abilities.
So, a BioShock movie has been on the horizon for a while, with numerous writers and directors taking a dip. But guess what? Last year, it made a splash at Netflix, with Michael Green penning the script and Francis Lawrence calling the shots.
Fast forward to now, and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike is officially over. It’s like the fog has lifted, and we can finally get some scoop on what’s going on with the BioShock movie. Michael Green is our man with the plan, and he recently spilled the beans to Collider.
‘You have to measure your words, or you’ll start to see a laser pointer at my forehead from the Netflix legal. Netflix has been amazing about it. They were excited about it before the strike, they’re excited about it now, post-strike.
Yes, I got called, the, ‘How’s it coming along?’ the minute the strike was over, ‘You about ready…?’ Been meeting regularly with Francis Lawrence and his team to refine a draft to go back in. We’re all optimistic. We all love it. It’s a great big sprawling nightmare world we wanna see real. So, here’s hoping. I would love to have an update for you soon‘
But what makes this project even more exciting is the talent behind it. Michael Green’s résumé boasts gritty sci-fi gems like Logan and Blade Runner 2049 as well as director Francis Lawrence the mastermind behind hits like The Hunger Games series, I Am Legend, Red Sparrow, and Constantine. These two are a creative force to be reckoned with!
Now, you might be wondering what we can expect from this BioShock movie. If you’ve ever dived into the game, you know Rapture is more than just a location; it’s a character in itself. A city that’s both jaw-dropping and spine-chilling.
And as for the story, it’s looking like they might stick close to the source material of the first game. We’re talking about our BioShock protagonist, Jack, exploring the eerie depths of Rapture and digging deep into the mystery of ADAM, that wacky genetic substance that brought the whole place crashing down.
But here’s the big question mark: will this be a Rated R movie? In the past, the BioShock project hit a reef because of its high budget and R rating.
But now that Netflix is at the helm, it’s possible that they can capture the game’s graphic violence and dark themes while having a budget that’s as deep as the ocean, letting them truly bring this epic tale to life.
So, gear up, folks! BioShock is bubbling up from the depths, and it’s looking like it’s going to be a wild ride. Stay tuned for more updates on this blockbuster adventure!
Netflix’s New Terrifying Horror Series Is The Best Since The Haunting Of Hill House
A mere day since its release – coming exactly five years after the spine-tingling “The Haunting of Hill House” – this Netflix horror series has astonishingly garnered an impeccable Rotten Tomatoes score.
What’s even more spine-tingling? This score matches that of “The Haunting of Hill House.” As of this moment, both shows boast a formidable tomatometer rating of 93 percent.
“The Fall of the House of Usher” has been conjured into existence by the sinister Mike Flanagan, drawing inspiration from the twisted tale of the same name penned by the illustrious Gothic fiction maestro, Edgar Allan Poe.
As if that’s not hair-raising enough, the series stars familiar faces from “The Haunting of Hill House” and “Bly Manor,” including Carla Gugino and Kate Siegel, along with the likes of Bruce Greenwood from “Thirteen Days” and Zach Gilford from “Friday Night Lights.”
Netflix’s official description for season one, spanning eight spine-tingling episodes, sets the stage: “To safeguard their fortune – and their future – two cutthroat siblings construct a family dynasty that begins to crumble when their descendants meet eerie and untimely demises.”
Horror aficionados who’ve fearlessly embarked on this bone-chilling journey are unleashing their screams of approval on the dark abyss of the internet, formerly known as Twitter. The verdict is in, and “The Fall of the House of Usher” is nothing short of blood-curdling brilliance:
One daring viewer declared, “The Fall of the House of Usher is now my eternal favorite. Apologies, but I’ll be unavailable for a while.”
“The Fall of The House of Usher is off to a heart-pounding start. This cast is nothing short of astonishing!!!” chimed in another brave soul.
A third, still trembling, shared, “The Fall of the House of Usher is shaping up to be the pièce de résistance of Flanagan’s eerie universe. Simply astounding.”
“Having failed to find the same intrigue in Mike Flanagan’s work post ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ (which was truly hair-raising), I approached this with hope in my heart…and discovered that ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ is a chillingly good time, surprisingly laced with humor,” added a fourth, catching their breath.
And one more, with unwavering resolve, attested, “Currently engrossed in ‘The Fall of the House of Usher.’
“Gosh, it’s been a while since I’ve been this captivated by a non-sitcom American series. Gothic horror is an absolute joy to experience, you know.”
